Multiple languages in one Pages document

Hi. I don't know how to use mac software to use several languages on the same document. I regularly write articles and book chapters using sources (including interview stuff and book and article references) from English, Spanish, Italian and French. I also do posters on iWork's Pages; my mac software seems to have a lot of problems recognizing language change, and I have lost all hope to use grammar proof and spellcheckers. Has anyone been able to solve this type of problem? There must be thousands of academics out there working on multilingual documents. Someone must have come up with a good solution! I will be thankful for any advice you can give me on this

Just clarifying Tom's post.
The language of the text is part of its style, like bold or the font or color.
Select the text and declare its langauge in:
Inspector > Text > More > Language
Then include that in a Character Style and you can apply it to other text.

Danny,
Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

How do I copy a page from one Pages document to another using Pages 5.0?

I posted this question on another page, and haven't recieved an answer to it yet. However I have found a temporary solution, so I am posting this here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
The issue here is that I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Maverick (10.9.1), and my Pages also upgraded (to 5.0.1), altering my Pages documents. This is the issue, as as far as I can see the new Pages does not offer some of the basic needs that the old Pages did! In other words it is worse than the previous version.
Using the upgraded new Pages 5.0.1 seems to result in some major editing problems for me. If you upgrade, make sure you KEEP the old version of Pages 09 (v 4.3). That is what has saved me! If you have the same problems I have had - explained below, you will still be able to close the new version and open your Pages document in the old version, provided it is not a new Pages document. If it is, it will be possible to export it as a Pages 09 document and edit properly.
After upgrading to the new Pages 5.0.1, when I open documents in Pages and try and copy a section from one document to another (easy before using the thumbnails) many of the Menu items previously available are visible but appear faded and are not possible, including Insert>Section Break/Page Break/Page Number and Edit>Cut/Copy/Delete/Undo/Redo
This even happens if I duplicate the Pages document and try and do any of these from the Duplicate (which should be an easily editable copy).
My solution has been to simply open all Pages documents that Iwant to edit (or may want to edit in future) in the old Pages app (v 4.3), which I never got rid of. That has meant I can continue editing and copying a section (of 1 or more pages) from one Pages document to another.
If anyone reading this has figured out a way to edit Pages documents using the new version 5.0.1 please post an explanation, and I will try it!

And there are those who don't like me repeating the same message over and over again in this forum!
Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

Hi there,
I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
I thank you so much in advance!

Hi Fruhulda,
I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

Can I open more than one Pages document at a time with the IOS app?

This sounds crazy, but I can't find how to open more than one Pages document at the same time when using the Pages app on IOS.
It's easy on the Mac, but on my iPad? Can't seem to do it!
I'm working on a project where I'm writing one document, but having to frequently cross-refer to another. Having to continually open and close each document, one at a time, on my iPad is driving me mad!
Am I missing something really obvious? Can anyone help please?

Many thanks, that's really useful. I've saved the document I'm referring to as a PDF and can now work exactly as you described.
As you say, it's not elegant, but it does work
Just need to ensure my fingertips are very dry, as I fear any slight 'catching' with a four finger swipe and my iPad will fly across the room / train / office

Well, you could trade it in for a white one!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

Why can't I link one Pages document to another Pages document?

You'd think this would be a basic functionality in Pages: to be able to create a hyperlink in one Pages document that opens another Pages document.
Currently I'm using iWork 2008, and I can't do this.
Can I do it in iWork 2009?
Until I can, iWork, in my mind, will be "iCan'tWorkTheWayiNeedTo".

right- so I can stop hunting for the "make coffee" feature in iWork 2008
seriously though - features that were available in AppleWorks, I foolishly thought would also be available in iWork.
I perfectly agree with the used adjective.
Why would Pages offer the same features than AppleWorks ?
Different teams made different choices.
So I'll wait for Apple to do this. I'm not going to spend £60 for iWork 2009 just so as to be able to link to other Pages documents.
I wrote several times that, as we are in october, it would be a good idea to wait until end of january 2010. Often it's the date of major upgrade delivery.

Add to Multiple Tables from One Page

Hello,
I am building an application that handles hardware inventory (APEX 4.0). I have an input page that adds data to two or more tables all at once. The page has two forms on it that point to two separate tables. However when I try to run the page, it fails and returns an error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 437: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "ORH_LAST_UPDATE_DATE": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
     Error      Unable to process row of table IDD_ID_DATA.
So far as i can see within the App, that column is not at issue (I am not even doing anything to it and it is nullable). I have looked into the App itself as well as doing some online research but have found nothing helpful...
So my question is this: Is it possible to add to multiple tables from one page? If so how do I do it?
I am new to APEX so any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:
I received an email from the APEX Support Team:
"The simple answer is that you will need to manually code the DML (and query) processes if you wish to maintain multiple tables from one page (There is a limit of one table when using the built-in processes).
In order to do this I suggest you delete the processes generated by the wizards and create PL/SQL processes with insert, update, delete statements as necessary. Such coding is not difficult but is more time consuming than when you can use built-in processes."
I have been playing around with PL/SQL code and the end result is this:
begin
     INSERT INTO table1
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
     INSERT INTO table2
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
end;
I used this code in a custom PL/SQL Process in the Processing>Processes section of Page Processing and it seems to work fine now. The only downside to this method is if the name of a Page Item is changed the code will also have to be changed. Other than that i have had no problems.

One page document is two page pdf

Extremely annoying. When I print a one page document to acrobat x, and make sure to select 'current' page of a one page document the resulting pdf is always two pages; the second blank. I then have to print the pdf document to another pdf and this time the 'current' page selector works. Why won't it just print a one page document to a one page pdf?

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I'm using Corel Word Perfect 9. When I go to the print screen it shows me the current (and only) page and notes that it is a one-page document. Then it prints two pages. I have no problem making the adobe printer the default; probably end up saving some paper that way. But it would be nice if I could find that "flyover' panel or whatever it's called, that has a check box to force adobe not to print any blank pages. It might be buried in X somewhere but I haven't been able to find it.

I need an idea how to place multiple videos on one page

Multiple videos on one page in Muse neded for a video portfolio..
Anyone got a great idea how this can be done please. (or direct me to a tutorial link - doing one is all I can find)
I am happy with either embedded or Menu linked on objects to videos.
Youtube is hosting the videos
I just cant find any way to put hyperlinks or urls in objects and I can not find a way to make small video players in Muse.
If I scale the container ..things go very weird. eg the video goes tiny and into a corner.
I feel like I am working with half a tool box!!!
I cant even find a template where this has been done.
Any help is appreciated. Thanx.

That works perfectly thank you.
Now I am wondering if I can have a single "viewer" that will play any selected video from a button , a menu or other trigger?
Info for others if required. : The You tube ID required in the widget setting is not the URL. Its an alpha/numeric obtained from part of the YT embedding code.
example - the bold underlined section

Printing multiple photos onto one page

Sorry, fairly new to PSE9!
Have a group of photos I need to print to actual size (3cm x 4cm) to go into a photo frame. They are all cropped and ready to go but there doesn't seem to be an option to print multiple images onto one page at a custom size? A contact sheet only gives me the option for the number of columns and picture package doesn't give any such option either as far as I can see! I'm sure I must be missing something here!
Any help much appreciated! Don't want to waste photo paper printing each small photo individually!

Update multiple records on one page php/mysql

Hi folks,
I am trying to adapt a page to offer the option to update multiple records on one page.
The intention is to edit FAQ categories which are contained in a table with just two fields - the category and an id.
The page lists each categories in a form with a submit button which is then repeated for each record in the recordset.
Unfortunately my plan didn't work and only the first record updates as intended.
Can anyone suggest how I can make it work?
Here's the code I have so far.
************** The Update Code *****************
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if (!isset($mm_abort_edit) || !$mm_abort_edit) {
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE faq_categories SET category=%s WHERE id=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['category'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['id'], "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_con_mysite, $con_mysite);
$Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $con_mysite) or die(mysql_error());
$updateGoTo = "faq-category-edit.php
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));
************** Update Code Ends *****************
************** The Form *****************
<form name="frm_editcategory" id="frm_editcategory" method="POST" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>">
<?php do { ?>
<fieldset>
          <input name="id" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $row_rs_faqcategory['id']; ?>" />
          <input name="category" type="text" class="formrightcolumn" value="<?php echo $row_rs_faqcategory['category']; ?>" />
          <input name="save" type="submit" class="submitbutton" id="save" value="save" />
</fieldset>
          <input type="hidden" name="MM_update" value="form1" />
   <?php } while ($row_rs_faqcategory = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_faqcategory)); ?>
</form>
************** The Form Ends *****************
Cheers
Dave

What does debugging tell you? What's the value of each of the variables? Did you try using regular echo statements to monitor what's going on? That's what I always do whenever I am stuck in my PHP coding.

Turn off rich text in your email signature. Delete images too, if any.
